Call Emergency Helpline before you dig to avoid any accidents!!
In case you need to get any construction work around your house for a landscaping project, please call us before you start digging. It is very important to determine the exact location of natural gas pipeline for safety purposes.
Digging without having any knowledge of pipeline safety could injure you or those around you. It could damage the underground natural gas pipelines. This way you could cause safety risk to you and others around you. DO NOT start digging around your house yourself. Always make sure an authorized person from the VGL Gas Company follows all the digging work. You can identify the authorized person through his VGL Gas Employee Identification Card.
